#RahulGandhi asks how are the #drugs landing at the same port continuously 3 times, while not naming #AdaniPort.
Huge drug smuggling is going on at the Adani Mundra Port:
- In September 2021, there was the largest seizure of narcotic substances in India reported at Mundra Port where 3,000 kg of drugs were seized at Mundra Port in Gujarat and tracked to Aashi Trading Company, which is registered at an address in a middle-class locality in Vijayawada. Appaji Reddem reports on the ongoing investigation of one of the biggest drug hauls in the country.
- In February 2022, 750 kg of drugs worth over Rs 2,000 crore were seized from a ship off Gujarat coast.
- From 2019-2021, contraband weighing 437 kg, worth Rs 2,100 crore, recovered; 73 persons held I3,000 Kg drugs worth Rs 21,000 crore were seized.
Due to the constant massive drug smuggling in Adani Port, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said:
Sep 21 3000 Kg ₹21000 करोड़
May 22 56 Kg ₹500 करोड़
July 22 75 Kg ₹375 करोड़
He also asks two questions:
1. How are the drugs landing at the same port continuously, despite the seizure of drugs 3 times at the same port?
2. Is there law and order in Gujarat? Does Mafia have no fear of the law? Or is this a mafia government?” he asked.
मेरे सवाल:
1. एक ही पोर्ट पर 3 बार ड्रग्स बरामद होने के बावजूद, उसी पोर्ट पर लगातार ड्रग्स कैसे उतर रही है?
2. क्या गुजरात में कानून व्यवस्था ख़त्म है? माफिया को कानून का कोई डर नहीं? या ये माफिया की सरकार है?#BJPDrugGate

The All India Mahila Congress said, “Yet again, the BJP has completely failed to provide any explanation about the drug menace in Gujarat or why it is always the Adani Mundra Port.” Congress is tearing apart the drug smuggling and also slamming it with the hashtag “#BJPDrugGate”

Earlier, last year after the ₹ 20,000-Crore Gujarat Drug Haul, Adani Ports Takes Big New Step. New Delhi: The Adani Ports said today that the terminals it runs will not handle cargo from Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan starting November 15, 2021. However, they reversed their decision in December.
In the recent exposure in July 2022, 75 kg heroin, worth Rs 375 crore, was seized from a container at Mundra port according to the Director General of Police, Punjab, Gaurav Yadav who said in Chandigarh on Tuesday that the contraband was kept concealed in a container carrying unstitched clothes.
The container was loaded from Jebel Ali port in the UAE, and was booked by an importer from Malerkotla, Punjab. “Based on the tip-off from Punjab Police, the ATS searched the shipping container, which had arrived from Dubai and was kept at a container freight station outside the port.
In a joint operation, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS), Punjab Police, and central agencies recovered 75kg heroin, estimated to be worth over Rs 375 crore, from a container near Mundra port in Kutch district.
The ATS found nearly 75 kg of heroin concealed in the cargo,” Gujarat ATS DIG Dipen Bhadran said. The consignment was opened in the presence of customs officials. Gujarat DGP Ashish Bhatia said, “There was specific intelligence input that a few containers imported from Dubai by ‘Green Forest General Trading’ Company, carrying ‘clothes’ were lying at the Mundra container freight station for some time.
Since India is a leading textile exporter, the police got suspicious as to why should somebody import clothes in large quantities from Dubai. The police got suspicious as the containers were filled only one-third, which rarely occurs. “There were 540 textile rolls, out of which 64 carried heroin. To bypass the X-ray machine, plastic wrappers were used to conceal the drugs, while cello tapes were used to cover the plastic layer,” Bhatia said.
On inspection, the ATS personnel discovered a massive quantity of drugs from the containers.”
The Congress supporters say, “The government is pushing the youth into drugs. Because if the youth will not remain intoxicated, then they will ask for employment, will speak against inflation, will ask for an account of the falling economy” The government has failed to curb the mafia drug trade smuggling and the constant smuggling at one particular port without being able to stop it is definitely raising suspicions.
सरकार युवाओं को नशे में धकेल रही है। क्योंकि अगर युवा नशे में नहीं रहेंगे, तो रोजगार मांगेंगे, महंगाई के खिलाफ बोलेंगे, गिरती अर्थव्यवस्था का हिसाब मांगेंगे।
